Bears Dump Moose, Walker; Re-Up A. Brown
The Moose is nearing the end of the line.
Today, the Bears jettisoned receiver Muhsin Muhammad. The 34-year-old had a 40-catch, 570-yard season in 2007 and while he wasn't helped by Chicago's forgettable quarterbacking triumvirate of Rex Grossman, Brian Griese and Kyle Orton, it's pretty likely Muhammad is heading toward the spare parts pile.
When players get to Muhammad's age teams are generally slow to bring them in until desperation sets in and their draft picks/younger players haven't suitably developed or injuries crop up. Which is cool for the older player because he now gets to work out at his own pace, doesn't have "voluntary" workouts to attend and can spend time with his family into July uninterrupted.
Then there's Darwin Walker, who landed with the Bears this year after being a nuisance to both the Eagles and Bills. Looks like his "casualties" list. He had a modest 2007 with 33 tackles and a sack in 11 games. The 34-year-old signed a five-year deal that the Bears had an option on at the end of the season. The Bears declined the option.
Finally, Alex Brown, the defensive end who's a key part of the Chicago defense got a two-year extension.
